This is the second in our series on storytelling – the first, being, ‘The Power of Storytelling’
‘Stories, well told, hold an immense power and can mesmerise your audience; They can trigger a vital response; provoke sympathy, empathy, even.‘’.
Stories can be told in many ways: without saying a single word, we can tell our story; we can use the spoken word, writing, pictures, music, videos. Even just a glance.
We can use all manner of media to get our stories across and resonating with our audience. But, once we understand the power of stories, we need to learn how to identify our own stories – and those of our business and customers. If we cannot do this, how can we hope to resonate with them?
In this second in the series, we will look at how to work out our own stories: what is it about ourselves? How did we get where we are? What drives us? Where are we going? Where do we want to be?
And what about our business? What’s its story? What is novel, engaging, special about it? What is our vision?
Not forgetting our customers: who are our customers? What sort of customer do we want? What are their desires, fears, needs? What is our common ground?
We need to know their story if we are to get them to listen to and identify with our story.
Join us here, and at the next two workshops in the series:
